After a distinguished career as a test pilot, Hadfield became an astronaut in 1992. Over the course of his career, he achieved a series of Canadian firsts: he was the first Canadian to be a space mission specialist, to operate the Canadarm in orbit, to do a spacewalk and to command the International Space Station. He was also the first to record a music video in space — a cover of David Bowie's “Space Oddity” — viewed by 100s of millions of earthlings. Hadfield retired from the Canadian Astronaut Corps in July 2013. Colonel Hadfield is an advisor to SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, Board Chair of the Open Lunar Foundation, and Founding Fellow of the Creative Destruction Lab Space stream. He has flown three space missions, building two space stations, performing two spacewalks, crewing the Shuttle and Soyuz and commanding the International Space Station. Colonel Hadfield is the co-creator/host of the internationally acclaimed BBC series Astronauts, and helped create/host, with actor Will Smith, the National Geographic series One Strange Rock. In addition to his decorated career as an astronaut, Chris is the author of three international bestsellers: An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, You Are Here, and The Darkest Dark, plus a new thriller novel, The Apollo Murders. We talk to Commander Hadfield about the importance of dreaming big, taking small steps to get there, what it feels like to do a space walk, and of course, music.

In this episode, we speak to renowned Canadian figure Colonel Chris Hadfield. For those who don't know, Chris is a heavily decorated astronaut, engineer, and pilot, and has received many awards, such as the Order of Canada, the Meritorious Service Cross and the NASA Exceptional Service Medal.

Besides his phenomenal professional background, he is also known for his music which he writes and plays on earth and in space! He is also the author of several books, namely An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, You Are Here, and a children's book, The Darkest Dark.

In memory of David Bowie 1947-2016. WATCH: https://londonrealacademy.com/bonus-content/goodbye-david-bowie/ “Ashes to ashes, dust to stardust. Your brilliance inspired us all. Goodbye Starman.” - Chris Hadfield in tribute to David Bowie.  FULL EPISODE COMING SOON: http://londonrealacademy.com/episodes/ The death of David Bowie impacts us all. When we lose a great artist, we lose part of ourselves. Only weeks before the passing of this creative genius, I was fortunate enough to sit down with astronaut Chris Hadfield, who is famous for covering the legendary Bowie song Space Oddity in space. In this clip you hear Chris talk about the visionary power of David Bowie.  Space Oddity was written before human beings had landed on the moon, but Bowie’s eerily accurate song captures the thrill and the loneliness of what it must be like to look down upon planet earth from the heavens.  Chris talks about how just singing the song in a different environment opened up new resonances for him, made him think about himself and his job in a completely different way.  When you watch the video Chris made in space, you get a real insight into what it must be like to be confronted by your own insignificance in the vastness of space, to be part of something much bigger than yourself.  Chris told me that the power of the song brought out the human element of space travel, and opened people’s minds to the fact that life in a space station is more than just a dry, lonely, scientific process.  As well as being a consummate scientist, Chris Hadfield also has the heart of a poet, and the sensitivity of the way he sang Bowie’s song seem to update it for modern audiences.  The works of great artists outlast them, and listening to this version of Bowie’s song after hearing the tragic news of his death, reminds me that songs like Space Oddity are a gift to us all.  Chris told me that the power of poetry is how you relate to the words, your interpretation of what is being said. And that’s what he tried to convey in the cover.  David Bowie created countless works of art that were not only visionary and prophetic, but which opened up ways for us to express what we might never have expressed otherwise.  Bowie’s influences were far reaching, and he was a master of the creative intersection, fusing rock and roll with theatre, opera, space technology, literature - you name it.   The very fact that a real-world astronaut discovered more about himself through one of Bowie’s songs shows that the man’s music will last the ages.  RIP David Bowie, and thank you Commander Hadfield.

Mike welcomes Much creative director Randall Graham to the show. Mike, Max and Randall discuss standing desks, Max's attraction to Barack Obama, their shared admiration of astronauts, Mike receiving a compliment and Randall's celebrity "punch" photos. Chris Hadfield tells Mike about recording in space, learning to fly, buying his first guitar, how music helps him, his responsibility as an astronaut, fear and preparation, faith, stress, space fiction, exploring Mars and the idea of heroism. For dessert, Shane describes his Halloween costume and a house party rap battle with “The Nut."

Commander Hadfield expresses the lessons he has learned from floating around our little blue dot that we call home.  Greg is struck by the idea that the higher you get into space the more you can understand humanity.  Dave notes that in the commander's case the message and messenger are totally aligned. Dave is also impressed with Chris Hadfield's comfort in expressing the lessons from his success.  Greg recalls a moment he felt connected to how astronauts feel looking down on humanity.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In space, no one can hear ice cream. But then no one can hear it on Earth either. Unless it's being fed to a noisy child. So, I bet you were all wondering the same thing we were: what if Commander Hadfield had been, rather than a lovely man, a bit of a dick? Well, now's your chance to find out. Come aboard the ISS (International Space Station for those out of the know) and find out what it's like to live and work in space. Can the crew survive? Will anyone get naked? Will the visual jokes work in audio?
